Saved Eggroll for last, I knew she was in her hot hide... But not showing herself at all... So I warmed up the rat (I always

hairdryer them),

Scuffed it across the top of the hide, and down across the doorway (Reptile Basic Hides) and slowly moved away... and

Boom I jumped the hide jumped and Eggroll missed Ugh,

So start over same thing another strike and miss (I figured she just wanted it gone) gave it once more and BOOM

snatched the rat out of the tongs and into the hide it went!

I waited until the next day when I noticed she had switched hides and looked in the hot hide, No rat there,

waited until night when she switched back No rat in the cold side either....

So YAY she seems to have eaten (it was a 53g small rat) and just over the 6 Month mark.

I was just getting ready to make a vet appointment just to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

So hopefully she eats (at least once a month) from now on and I'll be ready for the next winter food strike if there is one.

Thanks to everybody for all the advice in this thread!! I do appreciate it!!
That’s fabulous !!

So pleased that you kept reheating and re-offering... many seem to try once then give up or just leave it lying cold in the viv
